Said The Sky And Origami_Affection
Might not be the time to break the silence
Might not be the place to reel you in
But lemme catch all your tears like tiny diamonds
Might be the last time you'll fall for this again
Ooh who am I
If I am not the one to love you
The one to give you affection
Ooh it's do or die
I am not the one to love you
The one to give you affection
I'll pull you in closer 'til we buckle
Eye contact so strong we'll never break
Could spend the day right here counting up ur freckles
Even though I know it's been sixteen since May

Du cercle à la roue il y eut l'être
Autrement dit l'éternité
Le mouvement traduisait la mémoire
D'une évidence sans chronologie
Avec l'errance pour origine
L'origine s'inventait les couleurs de l'aube
Quand le temps naquit des langes d'un orage
Le crépuscule cessa d'être un sentiment
Puis vint l'arc-en-ciel
Comme rêve d'une ombre immobile
D'invisible la roue se fit passage
Trouée d'absence
Le cercle inscrivit l'apparence
Il y eut un début à tout
Le règne de la terre
Condamnait l'oeil à voir et seulement
Au centre se tenait le point frileux de la pensée
L'idée du centre
Le réel reçut alors l'infini
D'une vision du coeur

THANK YOU ! MERCI ! à tous ceux qui se sont arrêtés et à ceux qui ont aimé mon image ❤️

In the 18th century, several attempts were made to develop a machine to replace "hand sewing." It wasn't until around 1830 that the first sewing machines appeared in sewing workshops, much to the dismay of manual workers, but the development of this new invention was unstoppable. Initially, these sewing machines used a chain stitch with a single thread, later evolving to a system with a loose bobbin at the bottom and a thread at the top; this is still used in most sewing machines today.

Did you happen to notice the swell of the ocean approaching the port side of the boat?

Got obsessed with:
Juxtaposition of colour
Detail in the thread
The tops of the reels
How the light plays on the overlapping thread
Ended up with a bit of all of the above.
Was never going to be an issue with finding thread in our house as my wife loves leatherwork and our son is off to Uni to study textile design!
When you reelize that all the slips on the fishing boat side of the harbor are being used and you have to park it with the private boats.

This is the take up spool on an Ihagee 500 35mm camera. These East German cameras were really rather well built. The spool on this 500 has a rather nice anodised green cap on the bottom end. The whole back of the camera slides off to load a film and there doesn't look to be any particularly suitable slot for the anodised cap to sit in, yet it all works rather nicely. Shot here with a green flash pointing down and away and red flash right onto the spool. There is around 2.25 inches of scene here. HMM

Below is a quote from Wikipedia:
"...Back to the Roots is a 1971 double album by John Mayall released on Polydor. Recording sessions took place both in California and London where Mayall invited some former members of his band, notably guitarists Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor.
At the end of the 1980s Mayall remixed some tracks and issued them along with some of the older material as Archives to Eighties. An expanded two-CD version of Back to the Roots now includes both the original and later remixed versions of the tracks..."

Fishing Reel
For Macro Monday - Reels
A couple of years ago our state government decided to give every year five student a fishing rod and reel. This was the reel that came with Sarah's rod. We replaced it with a better quality reel.
The external diameter of this reel is 50mm.
A quick post and run as my physio appointment was changed from this morning to this afternoon so I have to 'hit the road' to Footscray shortly.
Happy Macro Monday!

This very early Super Simplex 35mm film movie projector from the early 1930's on display in the Warner Theater, Torrington, CT, and was manufactured by The Precision Machine Co., New York, NY.
Edwin S. Porter, director of “The Great Train Robbery”, left the employ of Edison, bought the Precision Machine Company and produced the Simplex projector in 1909. He had improved the design of the Edison Exhibition Kinetoscope and was responsible for the Super Simplex, which was introduced in the early 1930s. The Simplex line of projectors was one of the most popular American Brands from the silent era until the transition to digital projection. Simplex projectors were originally manufactured by the Precision Machine Company. Over the course of a series of mergers and consolidations, the Simplex line was manufactured by the International Projector Corporation, General Precision, Inc., National Theater Supply. This is a museum-worthy projector is of significant historical importance. The best of early movie history and an amazing survivor.

The theme for the week is reels. This is an old wooden spool of thread that I loaded with rainbow colors. My grandma's sewing implements have been great for photographic subjects over the years. HMM!
Please pardon my very deliberate pun and play on words. As well as an alternative name for a cotton spool, a Scottish reel is a lively, traditional Celtic social dance and musical form, popular since the Sixteenth Century. It features pairs or sets of dancers performing quick, energetic movements, alternating between traveling figures and stationary "setting" steps. Danced to fast 2/4 or 4/4 time music, it is a staple of ceilidhs, Scottish country dancing, and Highland culture.
For those of you who follow my photostream, you know that I collect and photograph Dewhurst's Sylko cotton reels, however I also collect beautiful old pre-war cotton reels from British businesses, many of which have fallen into memory and lost to the mists of time. I couldn't think of a better spool than that of one from the prominent high-end department store of Draffen & Jarvie, which was located on Nethergate in Dundee, Scotland to use with this playful pun! This reel has the charming dye shade of "Mist Blue", which is the palest shade of blue that it could almost be white or cream. Therefore, I decided to accessorise it with some of my vintage haberdashery pieces in pale pastel shades. It sits upon a bed of machine embroidered sequin net with an antique velvet grosgrain ribbon in pale pink draped around it. Behind it are two vintage roses: one satin in an almost icy blue and the other cotton in creamy white and pale pink. The tiny silver button at the front is Victorian, whilst the glass button and Bakelite and silver button are from the 1930s. The Art Deco buckle is iridescent pale blue Bakelite, designed to emulate mother-of-pearl.
Draffen and Jarvie was a prominent, high-end department store located on Nethergate in Dundee, Scotland, active from the late Nineteenth Century until its eventual takeover by Debenhams in 1981. The original firm began its career in 1834 when William Moon and John Langlands opened a little store at 10 Overgate. They were the pioneers of a new style of business and were the first shopkeepers in Dundee to deal in fixed prices, instead of selling, as the custom was then, by bargaining. The new method met with an encouraging response from a time when gentlemen wore silks. The quality of the goods attracted a growing custom and Moon and Langlands were soon on the hunt for bigger premises. They moved to 27 Overgate and 1 Tally Street in 1837 and a circular was issued following the switch containing a list of goods for sale. Men could choose their coats from cloths in blues, clarets, dahlias or olives; their vests from silk or swans down; and trousers from cotton drills or painted moleskins. The hosiery offered for sale for men included open-work silk stockings and by 1842 the new Overgate premises were too small for the ever-growing volume of customers. Albion House was erected at the corner of Union Street and the firm stated that “each department will be found to contain a large assortment of very choice goods, and will be under the superintendence of a young man of experience who shall give the most vigilant attention to every customer”. The original partnership came to an end a few years after the move to Union Street when Mr. Langlands retired and was replaced by John Robertson. The business flourished and prospered through the long rein of Queen Victoria until Mr. Moon died in 1887 and the firm was bought by Thomas Blakeney. A serious fire devastated Albion House and Mr. Blakeney instigated a redevelopment of the centre of Dundee after the clearance of slum dwellings. The firm moved into premises which were known as Blakeney’s Building at the corner of Whitehall Street and Nethergate. In 1889 Mr. Blakeney sold the concern to Coatbridge draper George Draffen, who ran the business in partnership with his brother-in-law John Jarvie. In 1891, Mr. Jarvie was bought out by Mr. Draffen. He was the sole proprietor until 1896 when he took his sons – William Stirling Draffen and John J Draffen – into partnership. His sons played a leading part in the expansion of the business following his death and Draffen’s became increasingly well-known for its comprehensive service. The firm celebrated its centenary in 1934 with the opening of a new men’s store and a series of displays and the exhibition "Cavalcade of Fashion – 1834-1833" which included a gown worn by Queen Victoria amongst the vintage costumes on display. Roy Langford, a costume scholar in London, arrived in Dundee to arrange the dresses for the exhibition which were coming from Canada. The department store had a prominent impact on Dundee’s shopping and social scene and gradually introduced various tearooms, lounges and a restaurant on its top floor. The firm continued to be known as Draffen and Jarvie Ltd before becoming Draffen’s of Dundee in 1948. Known as one of Dundee's "big four" retailers – G.L Wilson, Draffen’s, D.M Brown and Smith Brothers, it was a major shopping destination before the rise of modern chain stores. The store and its associated restaurant went into a slow decline before being taken over by Debenhams in March 1981. Debenhams then spent almost two decades at the site before it became the anchor store at the heart of the Overgate’s second reincarnation in Dundee in March 2000. In 2016 part of the basement area was reopened to form a speakeasy bar, which has continued the Draffen’s name, and in December 2019 the green light was given to plans for even more of the old department store’s floors to be opened up and turned into a whisky bar and a restaurant.
